This blog is inspired by something that holds a very special place in my heart and, quite honestly, I find essential in my every day life. It's called "music". I really don't know what I would do without it. I mean, I love music so so much that I listen to everything. I love rock (classic rock to be specific), country, jazz, reggae, soul, hip hop and (dare I say it?) I have found that the older I get, the more I love the '80's.
To me music isn't just a few notes and some lyrics. The good music (and most of the stuff around now doesn't qualify) is a form of art...a way to express yourself. Some days your mood may call for some good old Johnny Cash. Or some days may call for Nirvana and Sublime. No matter what the mood or occasion though, I can guarantee that somewhere out there there's a song suitable for it.
It may sound silly, but teaching my daughter about the Greats like George Harrison, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Marley and Jerry Garcia is something I truly have a passion for. Who knows, maybe if she gets it she'll be the next Janis Joplin (minus the heroin overdose.)

Baby Blessings

I'm going to be an Auntie again!! That's right, my oldest sister, Bethany, is going to have her second child in February and I am so so excited. Our family has truly been blessed with the "fertility" gene and we're incredibly thankful for each new addition.

Growing up with five kids in our family was so much fun. NEVER a boring moment for sure! And I can't describe the feeling you get when you see your children and your siblings children growing up together...such an incredible blessing. I do, however, feel so awful for my preggo sister because she's already sick every minute of the day. Hold on sister!! You know the prize is worth the price =)
